"This…this is too dangerous!" Anfey said. He looked very gratefully at the man.
"That is part of being a mercenary!" Ozzic said, laughing. "Shansa Empire had publicly challenged us. This problem is all of ours together. We must band together against this common threat."
"Well said," Anfey agreed, nodding. "Then I won’t hold back my request. We do need help. Why don’t I send some mages to assist you?"
"There is no need for that. My Dragon Riders mercenary group isn’t big, but we have been working together for a long time. We all trust and rely on each other. If there are some new people, we may not work as efficiently. Don’t worry, we can handle this," Ozzic said, with a wave of his hand. "Time isn’t on our side. I will head out immediately."
"This soon? You came all this way, you must be tired. Why don’t you rest a bit before leaving?"
"We will rest after we defeat the Shansa army. By then, even if you want me to leave I won’t," Ozzic said, grinning.
